The 10th Annual 5K will be held on October 11, 2025!

Regardless of geography,

Run together. Run with purpose.

How does the 5K run work? After registration, participants receive a race shirt and all pertinent information about the event.  Participants may run or walk a 5K with a locally organized group, with family/friends, or on their own. Please reach out to info@lightfromlight.me if you’d like to be connected to a locally-organized group – so far, there will be groups gathering in Atlanta and in Conway, SC. Participants will enter their times and photos into a race results website. Prizes will be mailed to winners within various race categories. 

Is October 11th the only time that participants will be walking or running? In short, no! We will ask participants to consider joining the Light from Light community in a 5K on the morning of October 11th in an act of solidarity; however, we will accept “official” times that are submitted anytime between October 1-12.  

What will the 5K benefit? All proceeds from this 5K will benefit Light from Light, a nonprofit organization that partners with local leaders at the Lespwa Timoun (“Hope for Children”) Clinic to provide healthcare and nutrition to vulnerable communities in and around Port-au-Prince.
